Welcome To Eighteen Rabbit

Your ethical and sustainable shopping needs have just been given a helping hand with the launch of online retailer Eighteenrabbit.co.uk, the brainchild of entrepreneurial couple Louise Davies and Andrew Williams.

Spending a year travelling to Mexico to meet with small artisan producers, the pair - who named the online shop after the Mayan leader associated with arts, culture and creativity - curated a comprehensive collection of fashion and interior buys, all with fair trade principles and a keen sense of style atitscore.

"The devastating Rana Plaza disaster earlier this year highlighted the importance of worker conditions and has encouraged ethical consumerism. We've noticed that the public are becoming more and more supportive of fair trade, particularly when they can buy products which are so special and unusual," says Davies.

Among their selection, you'll find jewellery from Cambodia, vases from Holland and fashion from Uganda. Plus, the duo works closely with their producers to create several lines exclusively in the UK. With summer now over and the countdown on until, dare we say it, Christmas, it's a welcome discovery. Visit Eighteenrabbit.co.uk for further information.
